  We are probably talking about a faulty door seal on one of the cargo bays. So much for the safest airline in the world? For Qantas, this is a major event. Wonder how the press will play this back in Australia, with the current management of Qantas first looking to…

  In terms of Japanese pitchers (Irabu and Igawa), the award for being the bigger bust must go to Igawa. Irabu, for all his weight, still managed to find the strike zone regularly. What did Irabu in New York was his unwillingness to cover 1st base. Hence the famous quote by…

  Rolling up the window will sink this guy. This simple action means that this incident stops being innocent and takes on more ominous overtones. The girl having her hand innocently trapped in the window and being dragged is one thing, however, closing the window and jamming the girl's hand is…

  This sickens me to the stomach. This guy's conversations with these convicted child killers seem to serve no higher purpose other than to line his pockets with yen Sort of like the folks who "collect" murder memoribilla.
